TABLES OF LOGARITHMS (188)
This present volume sees a complete overhaul of the first edition to service it for the 'SI' era. This has been done to the exact specifications set out in the BSI publications on this topic and, especially, in conformity with the excellent Report put out by the Association for Science Education.
A large number of the earlier problems have been removed altogether, whilst those remaining have been restated and reevaluated in the new unitary system. The excision process has enabled the author to include a wide range of new problems-almost 200 in all-covering all sections of the A and S syllabuses but with special emphasis on dynamics, electrostatics, electro magnetism and modern physics. Also included for the first time are a number of problems on rocketry and satellite motion. A complete set of answers for all the problems is provided together with a continued sequence of worked problems, whist at the appropriate stages throughout the text will be found tables of formulae, quantities and units relevant to the sections that follow.
In all there are over 650 varied problems here for all stages of sixth form work.
